For Russian motorists, the 2019 Audi e-throne is a new model, and the photos and prices look extremely attractive and interesting.

Specifications
The car is driven by special electric batteries. You will not see either a gasoline or a diesel engine here. The power reserve is quite decent - it is 400 kilometers with a full charge of the batteries. At the same time, the novelty can drag a rather heavy trailer behind it. The Audi e-throne 2019 in a new body is the manufacturer's best decision over the past few years, and the configuration and prices, photos and reviews only emphasize this statement.
The dynamic characteristics are as follows: the car will accelerate to the first hundred kilometers per hour in just 5.7 seconds. The top speed is limited at around 200 km / h. Quite good performance for an electric car.
The 2019 Audi e-tron comes with a special suspension. It can increase the ground clearance if the vehicle is stuck. A decrease in ground clearance is possible when picking up speed to provide better dynamics when driving on the highway. The Audi e-throne 2019 practically nestles itself against the roadway, which allows it to move even faster and overcome air resistance. For the assembly of the car, a body made of high-strength aluminum is provided.
The front axle is represented by an independent suspension with MacPherson struts, the rear suspension is an independent multi-link. Front and rear wheels are equipped with disc brakes, which are equipped with a ventilation system on both axles.
A whole range of systems is responsible for safety in the car. The following solutions are worth noting:
- airbags,
- Cruise control,
- fastenings for child seats,
- fog lights,
- lane control,
- adaptive air suspension,
- parking sensors,
- rear view camera,
- emergency braking system in the event of an obstacle on the road,
- navigation system.
The designers plan to equip the electric car with the ability to drive into narrow spaces without the help of a driver.
Dimensions and other parameters are as follows:
- The length of the electric car is 4.9 meters,
- Height - 1.6 meters,
- Width - 1.9 meters,
- Wheelbase - 2.9 meters,
- The default ground clearance is 17.2 centimeters,
- The volume of the luggage compartment is from 660 to 1,700 liters, depending on the position of the backs of the second row of seats.
Design
Exterior and interior decoration is a matter of special pride for German designers. These components have a certain similarity with other models of the German brand, but also slightly differ from them, giving the electric car individuality.
The front of the Audi e-throne 2019 is represented by a wide and long hood lid, which is located at a slight angle in relation to the ground. It is decorated with several stripes in relief that raise the hood in the center and side parts.
Below is a huge trapezoidal radiator grill, which has several horizontal stripes. It extends over almost the entire surface of the front of the Audi e-throne 2019. The corporate emblem is embedded in the center.
The head optics are made in the spirit of the latest trends of the German automaker and are filled with only high-quality lamps. There is simply no halogen here.
The body kit contains aerodynamic elements and fog lights. The profile of the car is represented by large windows that taper slightly towards the rear of the car and provide a good view of the driver and passengers. There are several stampings on the doors in the lower part, which give the car a certain sportiness and muscularity.
The rear of the vehicle is represented by narrow lantern strips that interconnect in the center of the boot lid. The last element is quite massive and can be equipped with an electric drive. The rear bumper is reinforced with a large plastic body kit, complemented by fog lights.
The steering wheel has an unusual appearance, it is beveled at the bottom, which gives this element of sportiness. The steering wheel is multifunctional. It can be used to control almost all vehicle systems.
The instrument panel is represented by a large on-board computer screen. There are no usual sensors here. It is on the display that all the necessary information is displayed, which will be useful to the driver at one time or another. You can also load maps of the navigation system here. In the Audi e-tron 2019, the projection of data from the on-board computer onto the windshield can be provided, which significantly helps the driver when driving.
The center console is represented by two large screens measuring 7 inches each. The first is used to configure the multimedia system and individual vehicle functions. The second will help regulate climate control and interior heating during the cold season. The console also has deflectors and connectors for connecting external devices.
The central tunnel is represented by buttons for controlling the suspension modes, a large compartment, cup holders and an armrest. The last element hides an additional box and a refrigeration unit.
The seats in the salon are extremely comfortable. They are equipped with good lateral support, have a ventilation system, heating and even a massage function, if provided by the package chosen by the buyer.
The second row of seats has its own climate control system. A personal multimedia system with monitors in the headrests of the front seats can be provided. The second row seats three passengers. This became possible due to the rather large dimensions of the car and a decent wheelbase. The center backrest can be converted into a large armrest with cup holders if only two passengers are traveling. The second row folds in the standard proportion if you need to carry additional cargo in the hold.
For the transportation of children, special fasteners are provided. The armchairs are upholstered with exceptionally high quality soft leather. For the individualization of the salon, a special program is provided that will allow the buyer to make a unique and striking car for himself.
Outcomes
Despite the attractiveness of this model, it remains popular only in the European and American markets. When it will be brought to Russian car dealerships is still unknown. This is due, first of all, to the lack of technical ability to use cars that run only on electric energy. The new Audi e-throne 2019, its photos, configurations and prices have been thought out as much as possible by marketers. Despite the fact that hybrid installations in our country are in little demand, and all-electric models are not popular at all in the domestic market, the manufacturer hopes to change this situation. The main competitor that can compete with the Audi e-tron 2019 in terms of technical equipment is the Jaguar I-Pace.
